Author Functions in Lars Kepler\u27s The Hypnotist: An Analysis
No full textThis paper examines Foucault\u27s notion of the author function as it pertains to Lars Kepler\u27s bestselling 2011 crime thriller, The Hypnotist. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of a Swedish husband-wife writing duo, making him the perfect subject for analysis centering on illusory notion of the author. This paper will answer these questions: Who is the true author of The Hypnotist? What factors influence the author function of this bestelling novel? And what can The Hypnotist phenomenon tell us about the relationships between authors and their readers? This paper will demonstrate that no literary works may be ascribed to an individual person, and that authors hold no privileged knowledge of the works they produce, because authors cease to be authors the moment pen is lifted from page
Urban Liveability Enhancement: A study on reclaiming car space
No full textUrban liveability issues have become more and more pressing in recent years and in 2015 made their way onto the global political agenda. Car dependency is one of the things that puts great pressure on liveability. In order to explore the interplay between liveability and car dependency and create a tool that Danish municipalities can use to reclaim space from the car, this study investigates the concept of liveability, drivers for car use, the induction of behavioural change, Danish transport habits, global liveability frameworks, design determinants of liveable urban space and best practices regarding reclaiming space from the car. An inspirational planning tool aimed at municipal urban planners is created within this thesis. The necessary information for analysis was mainly gathered through the use of literature review, case studies and interviews with municipal planners. The most important elements of the created planning tool are:-A reading guide -An operational liveability definition-Overall design considerations for urban liveability-Theory on behavioural change-Theory on the relation between active mobility and public health.-The lessons learned from cases-Barriers to change and supporting factors for initiatives<br/

Urban Runnability: Reconsidering the active city concept from a non-transportation perspective
No full textFrom ISA to Speed-Control Technologies. Managing a faster transition to a safer, smarter and more sustainable urban mobility.
No full textSince ten years ago, the reduction of people killed and injured by traffic accidents in theworld and theEUis stagnated. The WHO reports road accidents as the primary cause of death among people younger than 29 years. Moreover, many of these accidents happen in cities, and speeding is a significant source of incidents. The result of this research shows that the evolution of technologies that limit the speed of cars automatically into technologies that allow external control of the speed can reduce this problem in a faster, smarter and more sustainable way in the cities of the EU. TransitionManagement and different methods like literature review, situation mapping, a survey (N=189), field observations and GIS analysis were triangulated to assess: The relationship between smart and sustainable urban mobility, and Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA), awell-knownspeed-limiting technology that now is required in all new models of cars in the EU. The status of cities and citizens in the face of the deployment of this new technology. The challenges attached and the possible roadmap to transition from ISA to speed-control technologies as desired. Additionally, a set of s has been designed to measure a defined concept of readiness and can be used at different levels and exported easily for the evaluation of other technologies.Moreover, along with the findings, possible optionsfor future research have been identified and complementary or substitute measures to reduce the impact or accelerate the transition
A Comparative Analysis of Climate Action Plans from the Region of Southern Denmark and the Central Valley of California
No full textAnthropogenic impacts are their repercussions are undeniably being felt around the world and exacerbating the already increasingly unstable global climate. There are many efforts being employed to mitigate and adapt to these impacts. Climate action planning is at the forefront of these efforts. These documents set goals and targets, and with the collaboration of planners and scientists, strategies and actions are developed to achieve the set goals. As climate change continues, climate action planning must advance. This research examines how to enhance climate action planning through comparing established climate action plans from the Region of Southern Denmark and the Central Valley of California
How does it feel to walk in Berlin? Designing an Urban Sensing Lab to explore walking emotions through EDA sensing
No full textDevelopments in technologies such as biosensors, GPS and ICT make real-time assessments in a participatory urban process increasingly efficient and accessible. With global, but also local ambitions to design sustainable, liveable, and barrier-free urban spaces, people and their desires are increasingly moving into the focus of science and practice. Urban walking and pedestrian-friendly cities have grown immensely in importance in recent years, reflecting not only necessary adaptations to climate change and the SDGs, but also the desires of modern citizens. For participatory and people-focused urban planning processes, the concept of Emotional City Mapping can help by providing an innovative approach to integrate people’s emotions. With both subjectively and objectively measurable, physiological data, more holistic analyses and images of an environment can be generated, leading to better informed decisions. The aim of this thesis is therefore to explore whether and how it is possible to collect such objective, emotional data and, furthermore, how it can be combined with other data sets and ultimately visualised in emotional maps. In an Urban Sensing Lab environment, geo-referenced emotional data is collected from participants via EDA sensors as they walk through a Berlin neighbourhood. These sensors (EdaMove 4) are able to detect changes in skin conductance (SCL and SCR) that provide indications of participants’ emotional arousal. Thus, both individual points and clusters of stress can be detected, which can provide further information about the emotional experience in the study area. Finally, the designed emotional maps can be used for participatory planning and decision-making processes and support local transformation projects towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and pedestrian-friendly city of Berlin
